We have an opportunity to let our British Columbia neighbors know that we in Washington State care about their oil spill regulations. The BC government is asking for public input, so here’s our chance to further protect the future health of our Salish Sea (especially with the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project threatening our waters with a sevenfold increase in tanker vessels exporting diluted bitumen tar sands crude oil). Let’s help make sure that the oil spill regulations in BC are at least as rigorous as in WA — because oil spills do not recognize international borders!

ACTION

Tell the BC government where you live and why you want their oil spill regulations to be the best they can be. BC needs to be able to prevent and respond to an oil spill in their waters before it washes up on our shores.
